Homebrew NXMP Nintendo Switch Media Player

[tataniko]

Time to add features (track selection,mini-player and so on)

My daughter (12y) says:
Track selection is essential, but please keep nxmp pure & simple as possible.
Pplay is too complicated with mini player & complicated button navigation.

@proconsule54
I am agree with my daughter's opinion, pplay is a little bit exhibitionist compared to nxmp.

You don't have to follow pplay, therefore we suggest that, keep nxmp pure & simple as possible. Thank you very much.

in the TODO list the track selection is first in the list, i am working on it.
the mini player will be there ONLY if doesnt impact the user experience, i want to keep simple but powerful.

 

[proconsule54]

Track selection is coming.
Nearly done!

Upcoming Enigma2 EPG (yes this have UTF8 support)

I know this is a Windows window, NXMP can be compiled also in windows (with mingw64 a dedicated Makefile will be provided also in the next commit) and is fully working. a method for rapid devel it and testing new features and debug memory leaks.

How can i configure it?

I just registered my account just to say Thank You for what are you doing. Please keep it simple.

Thanks. Yes i will keep it as simple as possible

For building on windows you will need mingw64, a tons of library to link it and a good knowledge of gcc build system

Movies I checked works great but after 10 minutes my tv get dimmed until I press or move anything on controller (probably due to my switch settings).

Would be nice if player could prevent dimming!

Our kids use warm boot exploit (nereba, caffeine) not RCM loader to reboot to payload, so the sysnands are low, FW 1.0 & 2.3. They use Pplay on FW 2.3, so we tested NXMP too. We discovered that, NXMP can't start in Applet Mode or low firmware.

hard to debug this since i dont have access to a low fw console, but in theory i can fix it.
for applet mode i can debug and fix it.

 

[hippy dave]

Applet mode should be considered for last resort or special circumstances (eg cheat homebrew while game is running) only, most homebrew/devs shouldn't have to worry about running with unnecessary memory restrictions.

 

[proconsule54]

Even if NXMP can be compiled for win32 (for test purpose) i dont distribute any win32 binary.
i dont have time to reply to false positive scan reports or support on this test version (so dont ask it).

Screenshot of the next version.
With track/chapter selection there will be also seek settings (in settings menu) and a list of all supported decoders in info Menu.

Next version will prevent tv screen dimming after 10 minutes of playback?

I am wokring on it also.

I know this might be the song of the future but think about adding option to correct aspect ratio.

ffmpeg can do it like ffmpeg -i <input> -vf "scale=100:-1,setdar=16/9" <output>

Just add some basic ones or just option to scale by width and height manually. It would be perfect!
scale=w=100:h=200:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease

Great work anyway! Waiting for next release!

Very good idea to select different aspect ratios during playback.

At the moment, we use mpv.conf file with fixed aspect ratio (video-aspect=16:9) to get wide screen for older movies, but this is not perfect, because it is fixed to 16:9.

sure good idea. a menu for aspect ratio can be useful.
added in the TODO list.

 

[proconsule54]

OK Basic Aspect Ratio change.
there will be a custom option in the future.

For the 0.3.0 i will stop feature add with this.
Then after release as usual micro version for bug fixes.

Going bed now, very late here in Italy.
